	%a represents the IP name/addresss and %p represents the port number.
  Someone evidently was trying to get the HEADER information for a Web page
  in generic terms by creating this string and then substituting for the
address
  and port number.  This is a bug in someone's code since that's not how you
  get the HEADER information.  None of this has anything to do with DNS.
  This is an HTTP question.
